FRONT END SOFTWARE ENGINEER - REALTIME DATA VISUALIZATION
At Uber we’re bridging the gap between lifestyle and logistics. Uber is the world’s leading provider of transportation services powering the effortless movement of millions of people across hundreds of cities. Supporting this global marketplace presents significant engineering challenges. At the very core of those challenges you’ll find the dispatching and other realtime systems which form the foundation for the entire Uber logistics platform.
The Realtime Engineering is looking for a talented UI Engineer to help build applications that aid in realtime understanding of the Uber ecosystem. Think not of dashboards, but of a thoughtfully crafted experience around realtime data that makes Uber's complex ecosystem comprehensible and operationally actionable. Uber thrives with an effective understanding of this data, and applications you build would be a critical piece of our worldwide operations. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing, and dynamic environment.
HERE ARE THE KINDS OF SKILLS WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
- Strong web UI programming skills. This job will often require you to make the browser do ‘magic’.
- Passion for data visualization and endless curiosity with data. You ideally have a portfolio of projects you like to show off.
- Resilient architecture and coding skills. You won’t be building one-off visualizations, but scalable applications for production use.
- Experience with Javascript libraries such as Backbone, D3, Leaflet or similar libraries.
- Ability to self-start. You are comfortable figuring out the requirements rather than being handed a document.
- A keen eye for design and user experience is a plus.
PERKS:
- Employees are given Uber credits every month.
- The rare opportunity to change the world such that everyone around you is using the product you built. We’re not just another social web app, we’re moving real people and assets and reinventing transportation and logistics globally.
- Sharp, motivated co-workers in a fun office environment.
We're bringing Uber to every major city in the world. We need brains and passion to make it happen and to make it happen in style.
